+SZEDATA2 PMD
+============
+
+SZEDATA2 PMD is virtual PMD which uses sze2 layer to communicate with COMBO
+cards (COMBO-80G, COMBO-100G) using interface provided by libsze2 library.
+
+.. note::
+
+   This driver has external dependencies. Therefore it is disabled in default
+   configuration files. It can be enabled by setting CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SZEDATA2=y
+   and recompiling.
+
+Prerequisities
+--------------
+
+This PMD requires kernel modules which are responsible for initialization and
+allocation of resources needed for sze2 layer function. Communication between
+PMD and kernel modules is mediated by libsze2 library. These kernel modules and
+library are not part of DPDK and must be installed separately:
+
+- **libsze2**
+
+  This library provides API for initialization of sze2 transfers, receiving and
+  transmitting data segments.
+
+- **Kernel modules**
+
+  These kernel modules manage initialization of hardware, allocation and sharing
+  of resources for user space applications:
+
+  - combov3
+  - szedata2_cv3
+
+Using PMD
+---------
+
+SZEDATA2 PMD can be created by passing --vdev= option to EAL in the following
+format:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    --vdev 'DEVICE_NAME,dev_path=PATH_TO_SZEDATA2_DEVICE,rx_ifaces=RX_MASK,tx_ifaces=TX_MASK'
+
+DEVICE_NAME and options dev_path, rx_ifaces, tx_ifaces are mandatory and must
+be separated by commas.
+
+*   DEVICE_NAME: contains prefix eth_szedata2 followed by numbers or letters,
+    must be unique for each virtual device
+
+*   dev_path: Defines path to szedata2 device.
+    Value is valid path to szedata2 device.
+
+        dev_path=/dev/szedataII0
+
+*   rx_ifaces: Defines which receive channels will be used.
+    For each channel is created one queue. Value is mask for selecting which
+    receive channels are required.
+
+        rx_ifaces=0x3
+
+*   tx_ifaces: Defines which transmit channels will be used.
+    For each channel is created one queue. Value is mask for selecting which
+    transmit channels are required.
+
+        tx_ifaces=0x3
+
+Example of usage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Read packets from 0. and 1. receive channel and write them to 0. and 1. transmit
+channel
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd -c 0xf -n 2 --vdev 'eth_szedata20,dev_path=/dev/szedataII0,rx_ifaces=0x3,tx_ifaces=0x3' -- --port-topology=chained --rxq=2 --txq=2 --nb-cores=2
